Using staging but protecting your floor
Quite often our staging customers mention high gloss, wooden or gymnasium floors, even vintage flooring or tiles. Assembling a portable stage system on these types of floors can bring its own challenges, but the solution is here. Our team at NexGen staging has recently added "self adhesive rubber pads" to attach to the base of your staging riser legs when required.
The pads are the same colour as the Nexgen portable stage system foot blocks [...]

North Herts Guild of Singers and NexGen Staging
In mid 2018 the staging crew at North Herts Guild of Singers visited Sheffield to view NexGen Staging and get a demonstration of how it might be the right staging to replace theirs.

The Audio Visual companies in the events industry are also finding that these platforms increase the overall return on investment as [...]

NexGen staging client Chameleon's Web theatre company (https://twitter.com/@chameleonsweb) have been successfully performing outdoors on grass recently. Taking their NexGen staging system outside is proving an advantage to the theatre group, who often perform on grass and paving.
Suzanne from the group said, "We tried it for the first time yesterday, little tricky to get heads round but once we had it set up it was great!"
The leveling pillars are available to order through our web shop, and can be used [...]

In mid June 2019 Chesterfield College contacted us at NexGen and asked if we could provide a stage for their annual
fashion show. Of course we jumped at the chance but there was a bespoke requirement to the configuration and we had 10 days to produce.
The fashion show director wanted the models to walk straight from the upper step level directly onto the main staging catwalk. So we employed our local joinery team ABS who designed some great step infills. [...]
